Given information
Use these graphs to estimate the maximum and mini-mum values.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
We have the function
We determine the domain of f by setting the denominator equal to and solving for .
solve for
The domain of f is all real numbers excluding and . Note that since is in reduced form, this computation shows that the vertical asymptotes are and as well.
Since is not in the domain, is undefined and there is no -intercept. We determine the -intercepts by setting the numerator equal to and solving for .
solve for
